After the World Cup, I was so jazzed about the beautiful game. I couldn’t wait for the Premier League season to commence. I had checked out all the options available to a DirecTV subscriber, as well as the possibility of foxsoccer.tv since we do have broadband. Foxsoccer.tv were rather sluggish in putting information about their […]

A resilient Freiburg side, who have now racked up three straight wins, came out of Frankfurt with a 1-0 result that they will be very content with. Freiburg's ability to be able to grind out a result is really an asset for a side that were expected to fight relegation this term. Freiburg defend deep, […]

Designed and manufactured by Le Coq Sportif, Everton's third jersey is a vanilla-colored shirt with a classic polo-shirt design, navy shorts and hooped socks.

For most Premiership clubs with title aspirations it's not the loss at Stamford Bridge or the Emirates that puts the trophy out of reach, when looking at the schedule those are games that a manager knows are hugely difficult to win. What separates winners from 3rd or 4th is the ability to win at the […]

The Bundesliga kicks off this weekend with a big mid-table tie featuring Frankfurt and Freiburg. Frankfurt picked up an unlikely three points last weekend with a 4-0 away win at Borussia Monchengladbach, and will certainly be looking to continue that rich vein of form.
